Our 7-Step Water Damage Restoration Process for Des Plaines, IL Residents
1. Water Damage Assessment
We arrive at your door in fully equipped service vans and immediately inspect your Des Plaines home or business. Our technicians assess the extent of water damage to interiors and contents, including furnishings and personal belongings.
2. Restoration Action Plan
We quickly determine which problems need to be taken care of right away. Based on our assessment, we put together an action plan and explain it to you in detail.
From cleanup and mitigation to final restoration, you know what to expect.
3. Immediate Water Removal
Using powerful truck-mounted extraction systems, we remove water from all affected areas, including basements and crawlspaces. Our teams address residual water with highly specialized vacuuming equipment.
4. Cleanup and Mitigation
During the initial cleanup and mitigation phase, we identify materials that can’t be repaired or replaced, such as water-damaged drywall and ruined carpeting.
We begin the tear-out and disposal process, clearing the way for remediation and restoration.
5. Deep Structural Drying
Our deep structural drying techniques stop secondary water damages, such as wood rot. Interior humidity levels are returned to normal through the use of centrifugal air movers, industrial-grade axial fans and desiccant dehumidifiers.
6. Water Damage Remediation
Next, we remediate your property’s water damage by scrubbing, sanitizing and deodorizing all affected surfaces. Our technicians also clean and restore salvageable belongings and contents in residential and commercial settings.
7. Detailed Interior Restoration
Finally, we replace water-damaged drywall, ceilings and flooring. Everything is done with a professional focus on the details, from window casings and paneling to baseboards.

Their staff was incredible when we had a tricky double-insurance claim on our basement when a plumber left a sewage pipe cap off (twice!) in the span of 3 months. It was several months of back and forth with insurance and their staff, Brittney especially, went to bat for us, helped walk the field agents through the estimate, did 3-way phone calls, and even met and did a follow up review of the estimate on-site with their adjuster. They never dropped a ball, and were quick and tidy with the remediation. We can't thank them enough for the perfect customer service when navigating a really rough insurance claims process.

I called ServiceMaster restoration by Zaba when my parents basement flooded on a weekend and they were very professional and respectful over the phone and in person when they got to my parents home. They took care of everything and it looks and feels brand new I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Jerry one of service pros was very knowledgeable and was very kind. This company is great. They don’t price gouge! Prices are more than fair. I would recommend to all my family and friends.

I had some water damage occur in my kitchen; Floors were ruined, drywall was ruined, and cabinets were ruined. I put in a claim with my insurance, and they sent out Carlos and Jerry.I had the best experience with these Carlos and Jerry. They came in and looked lover all the affected area that had water damage. I thought I would be getting an estimate, but they were able to rip up the wet floors and remove the wet walls within the same day.We did run into an issue where Serviced Master found what was presumed to be asbestos tile in the affected areas. I felt like it was the end of the world, because we know all know it's crazy expensive to get that taken care of; But Service Masters work with a 3rd party company - Bluestone Environmental, Inc, who were able to come out and confirm, that it was asbestos. and they were able to set up times and dates, and a time frame of when things could get rolling with the rest of the removal.Carlos and Jerry were so nice, and explained everything that had to happen, down to a "T". They answered all of our questions, let us know what the next steps would be and gave us a heads-up that we would be getting notified about moving our stuff out of the house to that they could work. Carlos and Jerry set up dehumidifiers and fans to dry up all the water (over a span of 4 days). They took away all the destroyed materials, which was lovely, because it wasn't sitting in our driveway. And they sprayed the affected areas with a liquid to prevent mold from growing.Like I said, my boyfriend and I loved the experience we had with them, and we would call upon this team, heaven forbid, we ever needed a water mitigation team again.
